On today’s episode, Tracey and I are keeping it relatively light, answering the following question: Why is it important to have a creative outlet?

In this conversation, Tracey and I both talk about our creative passions, explore the positive ripple effects we’ve seen in our lives as a result of these creative outlets, and discuss our experience of flow.

We also talk about failure, how to eliminate distraction, and why doing something you love can sometimes feel really terrible.

If you’re looking for permission to pursue a creative project, this episode is for you.

How technology robs us of creativity and why it is important for us to be bored sometimes

My experience of being off of Facebook for almost a month and how Tracey has been using social media more mindfully this year

And more!

Piquing Our Curiosity:

Mint, an online platform and app for managing your finances, where you can pay bills, create budgets, track payments, and all that jazz. Tracey loves this platform and has been using it for over a decade. I have yet to look into it, but plan to do so after hearing her rave about it. Check them out online here or download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
